​Providing options, support and information to Alaskans affected by sexual violence for more than 35 years.

One act of violence is too many. Unfortunately, we know that many people in our community have been hurt or are being hurt by power-based personal violence. It’s time to do something different, to stand together and say we will no longer tolerate this and I will do something every day to prevent violence from occurring in my community. Fixing a problem as big as power-based personal violence can seem daunting but we must recognize that change happens the same way, one person at a time, deciding to do something different.

Green Dot for Concerned Citizens

No one has to do everything, but everyone can do something

The training is empowering and engaging – we are rooted in the knowledge that most people in our community don’t want to see violence happen, they just don’t know what to do.

The Bystander Training can be tailored to your organization and specific needs. We can discuss recognition and safe response to suspicions of child abuse (sexual, physical, emotional), sexual assault, domestic violence and stalking behavior.

Green Dot for Community Organizations

We can tailor our Green Dot presentations to meet the needs of a variety of community organizations

understanding that we must explicitly state that violence is not tolerated in this community and we must back up that statement with evidence through changed behavior that is shared by a critical mass of community members.

We also provide 10-90 minute overview talks to introduce individuals to the basic concepts of Green Dot and Bystander Intervention. Unlike in the Bystander Training, attendees will not create their own 90 second Green Dot Elevator Talks, however they will still gain useful skills in recognizing and safely responding to a situation that might be high risk or harmful as well as proactive behaviors to prevent the next act of violence from happening.

We offer a 4-8 hour Bystander Training for all employees, where they can gain the skills to advocate for a safer community through bystander intervention on acts of power-based personal violence. Attendees will come away from the training with a variety of strategies to safely intervene if they see something high risk or harmful as well as concrete ideas of things they can do every single day to make their community safer in both their personal and professional lives. We will offer follow-up support because this is not a flash-in-the-pan new awareness movement – this is about changing our norms around violence, about
